    Hello, as most of you can see I'm new to the forums. I currently own a HP Pavilion (a6552f) which has a 9500 GS (specs in more detailed is down below). I am currently looking at a new graphics card to put in my computer since I know the 9500 GS is limiting me a bit. I currently have my eyes looking at the GeForce 9800 GTX (Buy the PNY GeForce 9800 GTX+ 512MB Video Card at TigerDirect.ca) but I am not sure I'm even able to use this card with such a computer.

    Hardware:
    Base processor
    Core 2 Quad Q6600 (K) 2.4 GHz (95W)
    * 1066 MHz front side bus
    * Socket 775

    Chipset
    Intel G33 Express
    Motherboard
    * Manufacturer: Asus
    * Motherboard Name: IPIBL-LB
    * HP/Compaq motherboard name: Benicia-GL8E

    Power supply
    * 300W

    I am aware that I will have to change my power supply and I thought of maybe going with a 550 watt. So here goes, am I able to upgrade my card with a 9800GTX and what do you guys think about this card?
